Home Design Specific to Your Location
Building in different localities means addressing issues specific to your site location. Here are some design issues to consider when building a home… 
On a mountaintop:
Views
Terrain and slope
Solar gain
Prevailing winds
On a lake:
Views
Solar gainDrainage
Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act or applicable guidelines and restrictions
In the suburbs:
Views
Solar gain and shadingSlope
Architectural Review Board guidelines and regulations
One of our clients is building an energy efficient home on top of a mountain in southwestern New Hampshire (Jaffrey). The 73-acre property faces east and runs from hilltop to the bottom with a fantastic 180-degree view from Mt. Monadnock due north, to Temple, Kidder, and Barrett Mountains to the east, to Mt. Watatic and even Wachusett to the south.
The terrain where the house will be sited is fairly level, which will save money in excavation costs.
The home will be situated with the main living areas (living room and master bedroom) facing east and south. The majority of windows is located on these elevations to take advantage of the fantastic views. Our clients will incorporate solar hot water and geothermal heating systems and are considering using a wind turbine to generate electricity.

Custom Home Design Update
The home design process is continuing for our clients in southern NH.
One of our clients’ priorities is having enough space to entertain about 20 people four times a year. To add more living / entertaining space in the floor plan, the dining table was reduced in size and moved to replace the informal banquette. While the table is still large enough to seat extended family for holiday meals, the enlarged open living area is better suited toward hosting cocktail parties.
The dormer bays in the living and dining areas were changed to soften the interior lines. The kitchen was reconfigured slightly to take advantage of the added space and to streamline traffic flow.

Newly Completed McMansion Project
This home designed by Rob Sanders at 303 Zennia Street was recently completed under the City of Austin's McMansion guidelines. This house is conveniently located near the UT Intramural Fields and will be used primarily as a rental to college students. I designed this house plan with 6 bedrooms, 4 baths in 2600 sq ft.
